    Default Discrepancies between Serato DJ and Mixed in Key bpm + key analyses

    Hi,

    I am just starting out with Serato DJ and I notice that after analyzing my files, some bpm and key analyses differ from those in Mixed in Key. Which ones should I pay attention to? They may differ slightly like 4A and 4B.

    Also, how can I tell when a song's beatgrid needs to be manually fixed? Does anyone have any tips on how to learn how to do this?

    Thanks

    -a noob

    almost all modern dance music is in minor key, aka the "A" version of any numeral.

    Where key is concerned, if presented with a choice always stick to what MiK tells you.

    Wish list: Some Roland Aira stuff.

    Mixed in Key is more precise than anything, just believe in what it tells you and forget the rest.

    BPM is easy to tell, a metronome (I use Traktor, and I suppose Serato has it) will do the job. The metronome will tell you if the beatgrid is wrong too.
